Set against the rugged backdrop of the American Old West in the late 19th century, The Magnificent Seven takes place in the beleaguered mining town of Rose Creek. Under the iron-fisted control of the malevolent industrialist Bartholomew Bogue, played with chilling ferocity by Peter Sarsgaard, the town suffers under relentless oppression. Faced with mounting desperation, the embattled residents turn to a group of formidable outsiders, hiring seven masterful gunslingers to fight for their freedom and protect their way of life.
